Come back, baby, please don't leave me
You know the way I love you, baby, you'll never know
Come back, baby, let's talk it over one more time

I cried last night, all the night before
You were gonna leave me, baby, leave me all alone
Come back, baby, let's talk it over one more time

You know, baby, this world wasn't made in one day
Can't we talk it over, baby, before you go away?
Come back, baby, let's talk it over one more time

Well, you know my heart is weak, beatin' like a clock
If you don't come back to me, babe, I'm afraid it's gonna stop
Come back, baby, let's talk it over one more time

My heart is beatin' like a hammer, I really can tell
You've been gone for twenty-four hours baby, seems like a thousand years
Come back, baby, let's talk it over one more time

You know baby, this world wasn't made in one day
Don't pay no attention, to what the people say
Come back, baby, let's talk it over one more time
